JERSEY CITY — Presidential non-candidate Sarah Palin will be resting her head in New Jersey tonight, after her bus tour of national historical sites breezed through the Garden State without pause until it reached the Hyatt Regency in Jersey City.

Earlier stops today included Gettysburg and the Philadelphia's Liberty Bell.

Her full-sized bus emblazened with the Constitution, the Liberty Bell, Alaska's Mt . McKinley and Palin's signature was parked nearby under the watchful eye of a Jersey City Police sergeant.

Earlier she dubbed the trip a “family vacation.” She’s traveling with her husband, her parents and two of her daughters.

He said Palin’s party had left in a private car shortly after their late afternoon arrival at the hotel.

Palin has kept her itinerary under wraps, but there are rumors she may tour Ellis Island tomorrow morning.
